"The strategy for freight transport is a very high priority for the Swedish government". With these words, Mattias Landgren, State Secretary of Infrastructure Minister Tomas Eneroth, marked the launch of this year's major conference on efficient transport - the Transport Efficiency Day.

The sixth edition of the Transport Efficiency Day, Treff17, was held on Aug. 24, focusing heavily on developments here and now - with digitalisation, urbanisation, energy efficiency and "the roads towards the visions" as themes/sessions.

"Within the CIVIC project, we collected data from four countries on how to solve construction logistics in urban environments. It is clear that project-wide management of construction logistics provides better resource allocation but at the same time it limits the freedom of contractors to use their own solutions", said Kajsa Hulthén.
